How do you take care of your bags?

[pursegalsf]

I need help! I have dust bags for all of my bags, I stuff them with tissue paper so it keeps their original shape and I even lay a fresh, clean blanket to put them on. But how do I keep them waterproof or clean them? Especially my leather bags.I don't have the slightest idea how. Help me girls!!! Thanks!

To protect leather/suede from dirt and moisture, spray them with a leather/suede protectant. Shining Monkey Fabric Protector is really good, even though it's actually intended for car interiors. I just got mine in the mail today and am delighted with the results - the leather doesn't look or feel any different but is now waterproof!

Funny, I'm new here, but I was going to post along the same lines...

Since my collection is growing, and getting more expensive, I want to make sure I'm taking care of them correctly.

All of mine are also kept in their dustbags, and are stored away from heat/moisture.

Do you also moisturize the leather? What moisturizer do you use? I feel sort of silly but I never thought much about it until recently!

Thanks in advance!

Oh, I haven't thought about moisturizing my bags but I know I should. I'm just scared that I will ruin the leather. Help!

oo waterproofing, amazingly I've never really looked into that. I know that some places recommend scotch guard etc, but I haven't tried it yet.
